Python Connector for xBase is a connectivity solution for accessing FoxPro, Visual FoxPro, dBase, and other databases in DBF file formats from Python applications. It fully implements the Python DB API 2.0 specification. The connector is distributed as a wheel package for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Local indexing
The connector offers an internal data indexing mechanism that is way more efficient than native DBF indexes for complex queries.
Retrieval of corrupted data
You can choose to ignore corrupted data and metadata errors in DBF tables. Corrupted data is skipped, while intact data is properly retrieved.
